Fan’s favourite memorabilia – Part Seven
MadonnaTribers have started to send in photos and stories about their most favourite Madonna memorabilia in their collections. Here are 3 more stories.
• Hi, my name is Diego and I’m from Torino. I collect everything that has to do with Madonna: cds, vinyl records, books, posters, promo stands… everything!
Among my favourite items there’s this standee issued to promote the SEX book, isn’t it gorgeous? I bought it a few years back on Ebay. It was sent to me from America and I was extremely happy when it arrived in its original packing still unassembled. A memorable day for me.

• The most precious Madonna memorabilia I have are a picture signed by Madonna herself, and a Sticky and Sweet DVD also signed by the Queen herself!
The picture was given to me as a prize at a national contest organized by a radio station to celebrate Madonna’s first concert in Romania. Fans had to write a message to Madonna, to express their thought or feelings, or whatever they wanted to say to her. I was thinking how can I say something to her better, and I decided to write her a poem. When Madonna arrived to Romania, I managed to have a chat with Guy Oseary at the hotel, and told him that I want to give the poem to her. He told me to bring it the next day at the concert, and so I did. I gave him the poem because I didn’t believe I had the chance to win that contest, but I really wanted Madonna to read it. A week later, I received a call from the radio station, and they told me that I won the contest, and Madonna got to read my poem and she signed me a picture. Here is the poem I wrote:
Dear Madge. I hope you’re going to read this message.
I’m nervous and it takes a lot of courage!
This is my way to say how much you mean to me,
And after reading this, you’ll know just how I feel…
I’ve been a fan of yours since I was very young…
Your music is for me just like a drug!
The rhythm and the beat…makes me feel high!
Sometimes, the songs you sing, they make me cry…
You always teach us to love one another,
To express ourselves, to take care of each other.
It doesn’t matter who’s straight or who’s gay!
For that I’ll be grateful everyday!
I love your show! It’s STICKY and it’s very SWEET!
It has a special groove, and it’s unique!
You’ll bring it to ROMANIA, and I know you’ll do your best!
I can’t believe I’ll see you LIVE IN BUCHAREST!
The Sticky and Sweet DVD signed by Madonna was another prize at a contest organized by Madonna.com a SPIN Magazine. I feel the luckiest in the world to have the chance to win such a global contest! J thank you very much!
